Fascination

Part 21

The month of July has come, a few days before Céline leave with Bryan to Quebec. 

She woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. Bryan had already left. He always got up very early. She got up, took a good shower, dressed hurriedly and left. She always had coffee in the hospital. Lately she was turning the shifts, she had to get everything ready for when she travels. And the day was approaching. And the anxiety was increasing by the minute. Today would be her last day at the hospital before the holidays. Bryan had left days before and now just arranged everything for their trip. She sat at her office desk and looked at the clock. Anne would be home, for sure. She decided to call to find out how the last preparations were.  

- Hi Mia! It's Céline ... 

- Hello, dear! How are you doing? - The housekeeper had answered her warmly.

 - Great, thank you. Is Anne in?

- Oh no ... Anne has already gone out with Pablo. They were choosing the cake today. 

Celine smiled. Anne tasting the wedding cake. She was thrilled. The friend had always been so dreamy ... 

- Right. Can you say I called?

Just then René overhears the conversation and signals Mia to transfer the call to his office. 

- Sure! Well, Mr. Angélil is home now, I'll transfer the call. 

Céline was going to say no, but there was no time. 

- Céline? Is that you?

She was silent. Immediately tears flooded her eyes like a river on the verge of overflowing. 

- I know you're listening Céline ... Please talk to me ... She took a deep breath. 

- Hi René. 

- Hi ... Are you ok? 

- Yes, and you? 

- I am fine.

An awkward silence settled between them. For a few seconds they could only hear their breaths. 

- And the University? - he broke the ice. 

- Oh, it's great. Almost at the end. - she giggled.

- I'm glad. You will come to the wedding, right?

- Yeah ... I will. Anne is my little sister ... I couldn't help but support her at such a special time. 

- Okay ... Glad you come.

- I ... I have to go now, I'm still in the hospital ... It was nice talking to you. 

- I say the same. It was good to hear your voice again ...

And there was the fire between them again. It was amazing, even after six years his voice still disturbed her. At that moment she was sure. It would not be a simple visit.

Anne-Marie could barely stop at the place. She would get up from the airport chair all the time and look at the arrival gate. 

- You will faint, my love ... - Pablo said having fun watching the scene. 

- Want to stop? You're making me more nervous! She's taking too long, right? She should have arrived by now!
